WiFi 802.11b or g setup

slot show up? And have you tried removing that - don't think freebsd 
supports usb2 hubs yet, it might be causing some conflicts.

The USB2 hub has to be recognized since I installed the system with a CD 
ROM attached to this hub. I have since used it several times.

And, yes, I mean network card. But it works like a modem from my  
perspective since I am always traveling and hooking into a different 
wifi station all of the time. The analogy is carried further since I 
always have to login, and it is disconnected when not in use. (Card is 
turned off using the software, the same as any modem. A 'Null Modem' is 
a simple connection between 2 machine.)

Now, as for the card not being seen. This is one of the problems. 
Something seems to be interfering. I am re-installing the entire system 
with less system software. I'll see if I can take a more cautious 
approach. I think that one or more of the system services that I 
installed was blocking it.

Plus, I think that I need to read up some more on what is required for a 
FreeBSD connection.

One quick question. Are any of the 802.11g cards supported under FreeBSD?
